A seasoned software engineer with a master's degree from the University of Oxford, I bring 17+ years of industry experience with a specialisation in team leadership and technical oversight. I've proven my capabilities by successfully leading technology teams across the UK, Bangladesh, and India, delivering strategic solutions and operational efficiency to businesses. Notable collaborations include working with David Axmark, the founder of MySQL. My technical competencies have been honed in various settings including BBC, Mitsubishi, AllSaints Spitalfields, Unilever, Red Group plc, TheToyshop, Playtika, BT, HP, L'Oréal and many more.

In this pivotal role at Angus Montgomery Arts, I spearheaded the development of a custom CRM, a complex project that required a sophisticated understanding of modern software engineering practices. As the Lead Developer, I was not just the key technical expert but also a project manager, guiding the team towards efficient and effective solutions while coordinating with both internal teams and external clients.

A major part of my role involved the seamless integration of third-party APIs, such as Insightly and QuickBooks, into our custom CRM. I took ownership of the end-to-end process, from requirements analysis and technical specifications to deployment and continuous improvement.

I committed a portion of my time to hands-on coding, while the remainder was focused on team leadership, code reviews, client interactions, and strategy, ensuring alignment between the technical solutions we were creating and the overarching goals of the business.
